Class and other so-called stereotypes

I watched [Hunting] again, and after I got to the big screen of the library, I came back and watched the disc again, but I saw some interesting things. This film undoubtedly has a strong religion-traditional society factor, but it has to be said that the class composition is still very heavy. Those who believe in Lucas are basically only Haojiyou No.2, who is also the godfather of his son (the subtitles in the library translated into "Godfather" are really vivid), what is the identity of this godfather... Inside the castle, the family is distinguished (Marcus used a lighter to watch various photos on the wall at night, that's what he said). It seems that he should be the owner of the hunting ground. In short, he is a handsome and rich man at the level of big landlords and nobles.
Who was bullying Lucas? First of all, the fat guy among a group of friends, who looked like a dick with a low IQ. This guy dared to beat Xiaozhengtai Marcus, and be careful when Lucas rushed into the kindergarten to scold Greta. In that scene, their whole family was there, and they were all fat guys. Well, you and I all know that fat means god horse in Western culture. Then there is the supermarket, the butcher, and another fat man, two part-time workers, one of whom is obviously an immigrant.
Greta, the female teacher in kindergarten, would vomit when she heard "white things come out". In addition to the various euphemisms mentioned above, she did not seem to be educated, but more and more like a lace edge. Of course, sexually assaulting a young girl is really disgusting, but the impression that this role gives people, especially the aura of a group of women sitting there, always feels that the director is deliberately mocking feminism. Maybe I think too much.
Besides, good friend No.1, Theo Bearded, is basically an alcoholic and lacks discipline for children (not just daughters). Stealing apples on motorcycles is a bit of anti-cultural heritage, but the class of this person is definitely not very high. In this matter, everyone's position is clearly directly related to his class identity, and I am afraid it is not accidental.

Today I remembered again, is Winterberg misogynistic... In his film, the role of women is very negative. For example, in this film, the wife is basically unreasonable and even dislikes dogs, Clara Needless to say with Greta, Theo's wife is not a good crop either. It's also in [Submarine] and [Family Banquet], such as the mother in [Submarine], who takes drugs and alcohol. So it's easy to understand that Marcus is so biased towards his father. Ready to take the time to brush his film to confirm these judgments.

    Lucas: What are you saying? Have you got something to tell me?

    Agnes: Stop it, Lucas.

    Lucas: You want to tell me something?

    Theo: Relax, Lucas.

    Lucas: The whole town is listening. Tell me! What do you want to say?

    Agnes: Stop it, you fucking psychopath!

    Lucas: I want a word with Theo. Look into my eyes. Look me in the eyes. What do you see? Do you see anything? Nothing. There's nothing. There's nothing. You leave me alone now. You leave me alone now, Theo. Then I'll go. Thank you.
